I carried one for three tours, was a good functioning weapon. 9mm is not my choice for a pistol, but the army didn’t give me any alternatives heh.
Today’s 9 mm ammo is much better than the 9 mm of a couple of decades ago, but the BHP comes in 40 S & W for those who do not shoot anything that does not start with a 4.
Cheaper used Israeli surplus BHPs dried up the demand for new ones over the last few years. Most of the surplus has now dried up. Used ones are now closing in on $1000 and rare aluminum alloy BHPs are closing in on $2000.
